Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.
Do you like Chapter 103 too?
In the study, Zhang San watched the three women playing Angry Birds and said somewhat helplessly, "How about I get each of you a computer?"
"Third Brother, we don't need three, one is enough." Chai Xiaofen was directing He Meitian to adjust the angle and fire at the wild boar.
"Looks like you guys really enjoy playing?"
"Yeah, this is so much fun; oh dear, it missed, what a pity."
Guan Meiren also had a lot of fun. The game was simple and fun, and the three women couldn't stop playing it.
Zhang San could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Tomorrow was the game's release date, and he wanted to know how well it was selling.
However, seeing the three women having so much fun meant the game must be good; he came out of his study, went downstairs, turned on the TV, and started watching. Then he saw "Angry Birds" (or "Angry Birds"), the background music started playing, it was CG animation, and then the release date appeared: tomorrow.
This game has low system requirements and is very addictive in this day and age. Moreover, players can upload their scores to the Angry Birds official website to compete with others and create a competitive atmosphere.
The merchandise has already appeared in some shops selling related items. A batch of hastily produced posters, plush toys, keychains, T-shirts, hats, water bottles, pencil cases, pencils, erasers, and other items have appeared in various shops and supermarkets. There are more than a dozen kinds of items available, and of course, there is still room for further development.
On the day of release, many people appeared in the app store to buy Angry Birds 1. Zhang San certainly wouldn't just make money from one round; he would release 2, 3, and so on... until no one else would buy it.
This game is not expensive, it's even quite cheap, only $19.9, so many people can afford to play it. Moreover, this game is suitable for people of all ages.
In this era, there are no smartphones, only bulky CRT computers; Zhang San doesn't know, in this age of entertainment scarcity, how this game will fare.
Around noon, Blizzard called, and their excited tone indicated that sales must be good.
"Boss, we've already sold two million copies! Wow, we never expected it to be so popular. We're rich now!"
Although the game was cheap, with two million copies, after deducting various fees and taxes, the revenue was only $4000 million. They offered retailers a 8% discount, which was $3200 million.
This time, they really made a killing.
"...This month's bonus is doubled..."
Zhang San hung up the phone. He felt like he could hear cheers on the other end. He shook his head, deciding not to worry about it. He knew that this game would become a global phenomenon; it was only a matter of time.
In the living room, he sat on the sofa, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, he thought that he should celebrate. He gestured to the servant to prepare some red wine for him, and then some snacks to go with the wine, such as braised peanuts.
The servants were already immune to their master, a Chinese man, and his strange drinking habits. At the time, the master said he wanted to drink and then asked the cook to prepare braised peanuts.
They wondered why this Chinese man would drink red wine with braised peanuts; there were many other strange things like this, but over time they got used to their boss's odd behavior.
He Meitian, who was preparing snacks for her two older sisters, saw Zhang San sitting there drinking alone, looking rather forlorn.
Then she brought out snacks and drinks, and then came downstairs, suddenly wondering what had happened.
"Meitian, aren't you playing games up there? Oh, did they steal your games? Or are the games not fun?" Zhang San took a sip of his drink, wondering why she had come down to keep him company. Wasn't she afraid of getting pregnant?
"I see you here alone, drinking by yourself. Did something happen?"
"I'm fine, just made a little money; let's celebrate here, would you like a drink?"
He Meitian said shyly, "I'm not 21 yet..."
"Tch~ This young lady isn't studying secretarial studies, she's studying law! She's got potential," he continued. "Hey, I really didn't know you didn't drink alcohol; this is red wine, it's not really alcohol."
Under Zhang San's persuasion, He Meitian picked up the wine glass brought by the maid, drank some, and then, like Zhang San, ate braised peanuts while chatting with him.
Perhaps because they had drunk a little, the two stood very close. Zhang San felt that his relationship with Tianmei had taken a step forward, and he estimated that after some time, they would fall in love with each other... Dream on.
"Oh, the two of you are drinking. Have you even shared a toast?"
Chai Xiaofen came downstairs with a smile. She noticed that He Meitian hadn't come up yet, so she wondered what she was doing and came down from the second floor.
"Would you like to have a drink to celebrate?"
Without turning his head, Zhang San raised his glass and asked Chai Xiaofen if she wanted a drink. With Chai Xiaofen joining in, the atmosphere immediately became lively. He Meitian, who had already drunk some wine, blushed and wanted to drink with Chai Xiaofen.
"Third Brother, you're not planning some dirty trick, are you?"
Zhang San immediately said, "What do you take me for? Xiao Tian is still a girl."
Guan Meiren also came down. Seeing that her two friends hadn't come up yet, she went down too. She saw the three of them drinking red wine and eating braised peanuts, looking very content.
But now, with Guan Meiren joining them, Zhang San asked the kitchen to prepare some braised meat; with four people, the braised peanuts would soon be gone.
That evening, Zhang San received another message: perhaps due to the excellent advertising, Angry Birds was selling very well.
In one whole day, more than five million sets were sold, and the sales revenue for that day was probably over one hundred million. Their own turnover reached eighty million US dollars.
This news surprised Zhang San, and he felt better in the afternoon than in the morning.
In the following days, the popularity of "Angry Birds" continued to rise, and sales soared. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang San launched more merchandise, such as limited-edition figurines and themed clothing. At the same time, he also began preparations for the development of a sequel to "Angry Birds."
With the game's explosive popularity, Blizzard has undergone tremendous changes; it has not only become the focus of the industry, but has also received attention and interviews from numerous media outlets.
However, Zhang San didn't want to get involved in any of this, so he quietly withdrew. He only wanted money, and it was best to stay out of the spotlight for things that were unrelated to him.
Moreover, he was trying to hide his wealth as much as possible, as evidenced by his purchase of real estate in Hong Kong, which was one of his methods of concealing his wealth.
As for interviews, he left them to the Blizzard trio, as he planned to return to his Beverly Hills mansion for a while.
